Consider the following image of two atoms interacting.Each small dot represents an instantaneous position of an electron and the circles represent the nuclei.  Which of the following is the best description of the type bond represented?

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The image shows two atoms sharing electrons.Therefore,it represents a covalent bond.The atoms also have a slight difference in electronegativity, which results in an unequal sharing of electrons and creates a polar covalent bond.
